If Mozart were alive today, he would most likely compose a new symphony: the exact protocol of switches, push buttons, contact breakers, levers and springs that sound in rigorous order before the start of a racing vehicle will be his inspiration...

These small devices are found in all the dashboards of all the cars of all times, and therefore, we are obliged to reproduce them in our models. And now comes the good news: Decalcas has reedited their 1/12 scale toggle switches!!!

There are names in the racing world that carry lots of respect, and Zakspeed is one of them. This German racing team has raced the DTM and DRM, the Formula 1, the GT World Championship, and they have accumulated more than 400 victories. Easy to say!!!

The Zakspeed Yamaha ZK 891 was the last car they developed for Formula 1, fitted with a Yamaha engine that gave many headaches to Zakspeed staff. Hasegawa released the model in 1/24 scale and if you have it, and now (a few years later) you decide to build it, it is quite possible that you get many headaches since the decals can be in poor condition. Is that so? And why don't you go for the new Shunko reedition of these decals, with tobacco sponsor included?

One of the most prestigious brands in civil modeling is the Italian "Pocher", founded by Arnaldo Pocher by the middle of the last century. In our youth, many of us dreamt on building some of their meticulously detailed kits, but it was an almost unreachable dream.

Luckily for all, the brand, which ceased its activity years ago, has resurrected from its ashes with new strength, resulting in new references in their catalog. And of course (it couldn't be otherwise), we have immediately added Pocher to our list of available brands

The art of modeling in 1/8 and 1/4 scale, now at one click at SpotModel

Today, we have prepared a menu for you with some very interesting novelties To open your mouth we offer the rally car windows by Decalcas, the Zero Paints set for the Honda RC30 and the Tabudecals for the Lotus 49B with the tobacco logos.

As a main dish, you can choose between the AMT kits from the USA, or the Hasegawa straight from Japan, all of them really interesting, or even some Studio27 photo-etched parts for the Nissan 240Z.

Make your choice, but do not forget to leave room for dessert: by the hand of SpotModel, enjoy the fine and medium sandpapers served in 3 units packages

One of the characteristics that tells a compact apart from a luxury or sports car is "her skin": that fantastic surface on the seats, on the dashboard, on the doors, that has that sweeeeetest touch, that sooo characteristic smell that make even the most radical of the detractors of this type of vehicles fall in love

Zero Paints has released a range of fantastic tones (including even the characteristic smell!), so we can paint the "skin of our models" inspired by the leather tones used by Ferrari in their sport cars.

The Ford GT, winner of Le Mans in its category in 2016, that Revell reproduced in 1/24 scale and that you can already book in premiere at SpotModel.

And what else? Well, we also have the Yamaha YZF-R1M by Tamiya, arriving in September... And what else? Straight from the USA, by the hands of AMT, the Edsel Pacer kit in 1/24 scale, arriving in a couple of weeks. Do you want some more...? No problem!! You can also reserve the transkit of the Renault R8 Gordini by Scale Productions, the competition trailer by Italeri and the kits reissued by Hasegawa.

But, do you still want more??? Of course we have more, much more, that you can see in the "For preorder" section inside the "What's new?" menu of the website.

Six huge steel pistons, a turbocharger that blows in both high and low pressure, automatic transmission, built on robust and top quality materials, multifunction steering wheel, and around 500hp depending on the variant. Are we talking about the latest sports car...?

No, this time we are not talking about sports cars or racing cars, this time we are talking about the Man TGX XXL Euro6, an true road beast that has just arrived in 1/24 scale by the hands of Italeri, with the usual detailed parts breakdown of the brand and a completely spectacular decals set. Magnificent!!!!!

"Yo para ser feliz quiero un camión" ("I want a truck to be happy") said the song... and if it's from SpotModel, much better! XD

We hear "noise" around us, lots of "noise", but we barely understand anything: something about a football world cup, about a national team, about some coach... In short, trifles that won't manage to deconcentrate us of our main target this weekend: enjoying the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Some special 24 hours, among other things because of the celebration of the "70 Years Porsche Sports Cars", an anniversary that the brand commemorates by resuscitating two legendary 911 decorations that drive us crazy: the ingenious Pink pig, and the lovely lines of the Rothmans. In addition, Fernando Alonso races for the first time in this race and judging by what we have seen in the first practice, his debut could be quite promising

And finishing off this weekend, we will also hold the Fuengirola modeling contest in our lands: friends, sun, scale models, beers, more scale models, more beers XDDDD

So, in short: let them have their football, at SpotModel we will go with Le Mans and scale modeling X-D

In the racing world, teams dedicate weeks, months or even whole years to the incredibly tiny task that their drivers demand: to be able to shave off 0.95 seconds in a lap, more or less the time it takes your turn signals to blink. But all of them, drivers included, know that this task is anything but tiny: those 0.95 cost blood and sweat, but they can make the difference between being the best of the world, or being "the others"

Here at SpotModel, we feel a little bit the same We have lately changed and developed again, almost from scratch, all our logistic process: single picking for every order, stock and reservations management, automation of order management processes, improvements in our supply chain, integration changes in our payment gateways, and a really long etcetera.

And all this huge amount of work for what? Well... just for being able to fulfill what our "drivers" demand, all of you who are actually behind the wheel lap after lap at this store: to be able to finally shave off the 0.95 in our order consolidation fee, leaving it to an absolute zero

With all the SpotModel team at your service ... you just have to enjoy the victory!

We're officially on summer dates around these latitudes... and on holidays )) Are you of those lucky ones who are about to enjoy some days of relaxing and unplugging? We are really happy for you!!! We will be right here instead, ready to serve all of you, no matter if you are on holidays or not

By the hands of Eero Kumanto, a Finnish modeller and graphic designer, we bring you Highlight Model Studio, manufacturer of top quality products and accessories for car models. Their product catalog focuses on 1/24 and 1/25 scales and, in addition to generic products, it also has a lot of references specifically designed for the different Volkswagen Beetles on the market (Tamiya, Hasegawa ...)

We have activated at SpotModel their most innovative and interesting references, and little by little we will have complete their whole catalog. You can't wait to get them? Tell us which reference you need, and we will activate it immediately.

Wide or narrow, gravel or asphalt, racing or touring, high or low profile, slick or rain, soft or hard, big or small, they all have one thing in common: they are round and essential for sticking our vehicles to the hard ground and our models to their bases

Renaissance, Reji, Tameo, Model Factory Hiro and Scale Productions are some of the main manufacturers that offer us different types of tires for our models, some made of injected rubber and others in flexible polymers. Go to the website and find just the ones you were looking for

Splash Paints LLC is an American manufacturer that appeared a few months ago offering very interesting paints for our cars and motorcycles scale models, that we have now added to SpotModel for you.

Once applied with aerograph, their paint self-levels during the drying process so that the final result is a smooth and homogeneous surface. All shades are solvent-based lacquers, served in 30ml bottles. In a few weeks we will receive their first references, but you can already reserve your colors at SpotModel. Do not miss them!!
